The C-variant, introduced in 1987, featured upgraded avionics, increased weapons capability, and improved night attack systems compared to earlier models. Designed as a true multi-role fighter, the F\/A-18C excels in both air-to-air combat and precision ground attack missions, making it the backbone of carrier air wings for decades. With its distinctive twin-tail design and proven combat record from Desert Storm to modern conflicts, the Hornet remains a favorite subject for naval aviation enthusiasts and modern jet modelers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Eduard Paint Masks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1989, Eduard has been perfecting the art of paint masking, using CAD design and precision cutting to create masks that fit perfectly with minimal trimming. Paint masks save hours of tedious hand-masking with tape, eliminate the risk of uneven paint lines, and allow you to achieve professional results even on complex multi-pane canopies. Simply apply the masks, paint, and remove to reveal crisp demarcation lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplementary Products for Your F\/A-18C Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your F\/A-18 Hornet project with kits from our collection, including the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/1-72-hobby-boss-f-a-18a-hornet-80268\" target=\"_self\"\u003eHobby Boss F\/A-18A Hornet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/1-72-hasegawa-f-a-18d-hornet-439\" target=\"_self\"\u003eHasegawa F\/A-18D Hornet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/1-72-italeri-f-a-18-wild-weasel-c-d-016\" target=\"_self\"\u003eItaleri F\/A 18 Wild Weasel C\/D\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.
